You are absolutely right. My problem was trying to install a hex map-making tool for D&D, which only came as a .deb file. So I needed a tool to install that, and the tools I found needed pacman to install them.

In regards to the decision to purchase a steam deck as opposed to a desktop or laptop, I most likely just wanted an excuse to buy a new toy, justified as a way to replace my aging laptop. I'd love to say it was a younger me making that mistake. No, it was me one year ago. I'm not really a different person now, and would likely do the same thing given the chance.
